Got this from n1tr0g3n off Top hate sec. :ifconfig -a This shows you all interfaces on your machine & if you find it type ifconfig wlan0 up "replace wlan0" with your interface
you also have to add your wireless card into WICD wireless manager to be able to see the card in the GUI WICD.. If its not named right then no networks will show up.

Hope this helps.
then try airmon-ng and it should show your card

I type ifconfig -a and two interfaces appear,

lo Link encap: Local loopback

inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope: Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

eth0 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr e8:40:f2:f0:fa:89

so i typed ifconfig eth0 up/ ifconfig lo up..
then i typed airmon-ng... a window appeard with 3 words:
Interface Chipset Driver...
PS: I added "lo" on wireless interface of wicd.
